The cherry blossoms in Japan are beautiful, no question. But the problem is they don't last long because right after they come into bloom comes the rain and the rainy season...sad...
But, I guess that makes them more precious.
Lunch:
Miso Cheesy Chicken & Somen Salad with Ao Shiso Dressing
This is the second time I made Miso Cheesy Chicken. I think I did it better this time.
Somen Salad. Somen (so men) is a very thin noodle made from wheat flour.
Somen is usually served cold. There's a summer activity with somen called nagashi somen where you take a long flume of bamboo to make a sort of water slide for the noodles. People stand along next to the bamboo water slide with a bowl of dipping sauce and catch noodles as they come down and enjoy. It's a fun yummy group activity!
Slightly thicker noodles are called hiyamugi and then the even thicker noodles udon.
